Ingredients

For the marinade

  • One (2-inch) piece of fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
  • 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup hoisin sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
  • 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon Shaoxing rice wine
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 pounds 4 ounces pork back or side ribs, silver skin removed

For the ribs

  • 1 tablespoon mild vegetable oil
  • 3 scallions, finely chopped, to garnish
  • 1 red chile, thinly sliced, to garnish
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted in a dry pan until fragrant, to garnish

Instructions

Marinate the ribs

  • In a large bowl, mix all of the marinade ingredients together. Place the ribs on a rimmed baking sheet and pour half of the marinade over the ribs. Cover and marinate overnight.

Cook the ribs

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C ).
  • Lay the ribs, meat side up, on a foil-lined rimmed sheet pan and baste with 1 tablespoon of oil. Roast for 45 minutes.
  • After 45 minutes, turn the heat down to 325°F (170°C ). Baste the ribs with the remaining half of the marinade and then cook for 30 minutes more.
  • Remove the ribs from the oven and leave them to rest for 10 minutes. Slice into slabs or individual ribs and place on a large serving platter (or you can serve them on the baking sheet).
  • Garnish with scallions, red chile, and sesame seeds. Devour.
